Use of vendor subrange

Hi,

how business use vendorsub range
Regards,
Ashish Vats

Hello Ashish,
A vendor sub-range (VSR) can be any further breakdown of regions/product lines/locations/whatever that we want to create for the individual vendor master record. For instance, even in the same plant we need a different vendor partnering setup because we have different “OA” vendors (order from’s) for some products that we purchase from a vendor than for other products.
We could set up a sub-range for each of the product groupings i.e. Stationary items and Housekeeping items, and maintain partners for each sub-range. Or for the same vendor in different parts of the country we need different partners than for another region. In this case the applicable vendor sub-range for each product or geographic region maintained on the vendor master record would have to be inserted on the applicable Purchasing Info Records.
Vendor sub-ranges can be set up for any vendor master record as well.
Hope this helps.

  • Vendor Site -- Vendor Subrange

    Hi Gurus,
    I am new to SAP, I want to know the option of Vendor Subrange. Let me explain my scenario:
    We have a vendor (ABC) who is supplying promotional and packaging material. The vendor is supplying both the material from two different geographical locations. Promotional material is supplying from location A and packaging is supplying from location B. Vendor addresses and payment terms are different from each other.
    I checked in the SAP help and found that this site option will be catered in SAP through vendor sub-range. I have some questions regarding that. Questions are :
    1) How I open vendor sub-range?
    2) Do I need to open two vendors with same name (ABC) and link both of them with each other?
    3) How can I call the vendor sub-range on PO?
    If anyone provide step by step guide of opening the vendor sub-range it will be great help for me.
    Regards

    Hi,
    You can use Vendor Sub range.
    In XK02 - In Purchasing Data of Vendor master, click menu Extras > Add. purchasing data, here activate "Data retent. at VST level allowed" and press enter.
    Now click on "Sub-ranges" button and enter a code and description for VSR.
    Now click o "Alternative data" button, here specify VSR Code and activate "Purchasing data" & "Partner Function" indicator and enter
    It will give Purchasing screen to maintain purchasing details at VSR level, here specify all details like' Payment terms, currency, etc...
    Now In ME21N, specify the vendor and then at Item details level in "Material data" tab, select the appropriate VSR and it will adopt all purchasing details from that.

  • Creation of Business partner by using the vendor master

    Dear all ,
    I have a requirement as follows. I  Have already vendor master created  in MM .Now the requirement is  while creating Business partner I have to use this vendor as the business partner .
    Can experts suggest the possibility of this .
    Regards.
    Arjun.

    Hello Arjun,
    Yes, this feature also works in 4.7. What has happened is that in ECC 6.0 the BP functinality has been totally redefined with a lot of automations. As such, if properly configured then in ECC 6.0 there is no practical use of the FLBPD/FLBPC Tcodes. However, in 4.7, both these traqnsactions should be working fine. The SAP ntes that I have mentioned are however only for ECC 6.0.
    Kind regards,

  • Use of Vendor and Customer in 'Define Shipping Data for Storage Location"

    Under the stock transfer order configuration, there is a IMG step <b>"Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".</b>
    In this at storage location level, we can assign, sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location.
    The customer number is used a sold-to-party in outbound deliveries.
    <b>But I am not able to figure out what's the use of VENDOR number we are specifying in this step.</b>
    If I am assiging the VENDOR Number here to every storage location, then when I am creating cross-company code Stock transport order, which vendor code I will select the one assigned to PLANT or one Assigned to Storage location.
    <b>Also I need to know what vendor account group I will use for creating this storage location vendor.</b>  I have more than one storage locations) under one plant. Soif I used account group as "0007" plant, SAP doesn't allow me to assigne one plant code to 2 vendors and in vendor master on 'additional purchasing data' screen I am not seeing storage location field, it has only 'PLANT' field.
    <b>So I need to know-
    1. Which account group to use for creating storage location vendor
    2. What's the ultimaye use of this vendor code
    3. What vendor # I will use while creating cross-company PO (one for plant or one for storage location.</b>
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Define Shipping Data
    Here in this step you maintain the customer number of the receiving plant. This customer number is used in SD shipping processing to identify the goods recipient (ship-to party) if stock transfer to be carried out with an SD delivery
    A goods receipt can be planned in the receiving plant.
    You can enter a vendor (transport vendor) in the stock transport order
    In IMG step "Define Shipping Data for Storage Location".
    You can assign sales org/distribution channel, division and VENDOR and CUSTOMER to storage location through Plant only.Means this Vendor is created for entering in the STO .This vendor is created for the the Plant (Supplying Plant)so as u can create STO.

  • How do I define a new salutation for use in vendor & customer master data?

    Hi
    Can someone please advise how/where I need to go in order to define a new salutation type (eg: to be used in vendor and customer master set up)
    We currently have several standard salutations (eg: Mr, Miss) but not some really common ones we use (eg: Dr, Rev, Sir etc)
    I guess this might be somewhere in SPRO/IMG but anyone with the answer will be awarded points.

    I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
    It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
    I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
    System notifications make it not save changes.  It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders.  Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
    or date.  It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason.  Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes.  Often it has not.
    This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.

  • Use of vendor product number in shopping cart from personal template

    Hi all,
    I have the following scenario:
    We use ECC 6.0, SRM 5.0 MDM 5.5 sp6 catalog 2.0.
    In the inforecord master data in ECC we use the vendor product number (vpn). When a inforecord is created or changed, the inforecords (or changed data in the inforecord) get's replicated to SRM-MDM, just like all of the other masterdata (product, vendor and conditions).
    The vpn is included in the details of a catalog product.
    When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.
    When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.
    So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.
    This leads to wrong delivery's.
    I've logged an oss call for this, because in my opinion this is a product default. But SAP points me on "standard design". This seems always to be the case when something difficult is asked.
    They said it can be solved with a BADI implementation. To be more specific a validation in SRM-MDM with the doc-change Badi.
    Is there some one who has experience with this kind of development and knows if this is the whight Badi of has an alternative?
    Thanks in advance!
    Best regards,
    JvE

    Hi,
    When a personal template is generated from a product in the catalog, it's saved with the vpn included.
    When the vpn changes in ECC, this number is replicated to the SRM-MDM catalog.
    So if you choose the product from the catalog after the canged vpn, the new, right vpn is used in hte shopping cart. But when *you use the template that was created before the time the vpn was changed, the old vpn is used in the shopping cart and subsequently the pr and po.
    *Solution:
    you have told that in MDM -VPN is updated from ECC
    Say for Eg : VPN  is 12345  in MDM
    you have created a shopping cart template with thie VPN : 12345 .
    you have ordered the shopping cart the VPN number will be 12345.
    After a week this VPN is updated from ECC by 12345ABC
    now you have to Delete the old shopping cart template what you have created 12345.
    You have to create a new template with VPN :12345ABC and create a  shopping cart
    How will the VPN change in the Old Template? It  is not possbile.
    It is not A product bug.
    Please try this method what I  have suggested

    SAP-MM

    HI,
    Vendor Sub-Ranges (VSRs) subdivide a vendoru2019s total product range according to a variety of criteria.
    You can specify which materials or articles belong to which VSR in the info records of the relevant vendor. There you can also specify the sequential position of the material in the vendor sub-range, so that the items of a purchase order are sorted into the sequence in which your vendor expects them.
    In the SAP System, you can maintain certain data at vendor sub-range level. For each sub-range:
    You can maintain different data In addition to the purchasing data or partners that have been created for a purchasing organization, you can enter different data or partners in the vendor master record for each vendor sub-range, e.g. different ordering addresses, terms of payment, or partner roles.
    For Example :-
    Scnerio:
    The Vendor currency is maitained (say) USD and you want to attach EURO, GBP to the existing vendor without creating same Vendor in Data Base
    T-code XK02 u2013 Select Vendor and then Select Purchasing Data
    In Purchasing Data View go to MENU BAR -> Extras -> ADDITIONAL PURCHASING DATA 
    In the Screen Select check the box for
      1. DATA RETENTION AT VSR LEVEL ALLOWED
      2. DATA RETENTION AT PLANT LEVEL ALLOWED
    T-code XK02 u2013 Select Vendor and then Select Purchasing Data
    In the PURCHASING DATA VIEW, a Button appears in Sub-Menu Bar which Says u201CSUB-RANGEu201D
    D.  Click on it and put in the Currency Code and Currency Description
    e.g.
    USD US DOLLAR
    GBP Great Britain Pound
    INR India Rupee
    E.  SAVE
    M. T-code XK02 u2013 Select Vendor and then Select Purchasing Data
    In the PURCHASING DATA VIEW, select u201CALTERNATIVE DATAu201D
    N. A new Screen is Displayed, PRESS F5, and repeat the steps H to L
    Multiple Currencies are now Defined / attached to the Vendor.
    Hope HElp u !

  • Help required to create portal without using any vendor specific API's

    Hi All,
    I am trying to develope a portal without using any vendor specific API or tool like Weblogic workshop or Vignette Wizard. I would like to know whether Sun Microsystem provides any API for developing portal. I would also appreciate if I can get few links for developing portal using java API's...
    Thanks in advance...
    Dgk

    Sure Sun provides the tools: it is called the compiler. Now all you need to do is write the code for a portal. But since there are vendor specific solutions available that could make your life a lot easier, writing one yourself is like reinventing the wheel.
    Pardon my mild sarcasm, but avoiding API's not developed by Sun is not the general idea behind the Java platform. You are encouraged to use those API's.
